Each eligible agency must submit a funding application, including an eligibility statement and required Board /Council Resolution (Attachment A), which is reviewed by ACTIA. Funding recommendations are then forwarded to the Paratransit Advisory Planning Committee (PAPCO) for consideration, and on to the ACTIA Board of Directors for final approval. The City of Pleasanton's Measure B application for FY11 is for $69,121.
